Rating: 5/5 As good of a score as this got - so did my last Russell's Single Barrel store pick...

Regardless, I'm expecting another great release here from the Russell's line. Rating: 5/5 As a bonus here are some of my thoughts about the comparison to the batch 1 release: I thought I've also noticed today that both corks on the Russell's 13 releases are running a little looser than If you asked me to rank again the Rapid 2020 E/4 pick against the Russell's 13 pair tonight, I'd tell I think this pick from Rapid Liquors is just an exceptional example of where Russell's picks can get

Time to pass the torch. Tonight we say goodbye to a great @russellsreservebourbon store pick and welcome the next. I went into these pours blinded/randomized for fairness. Will I be able to recognize my old flame? Will the new taste steal the show? Let’s find out! Left Glass Review: Nose: Delicious peanut and cherry forward. I could be smelling a Booker's batch here. Spice cut with a nice marshmallow. Rich syrupy plum and some herbal funk. Sweet confectionery sugar. Chocolate. Perfect puffy campfire marshmallow note in the back. Yum! Palate: Syrupy cherry with a big whiplash of citrus and spice. Cinnamon hots at the back of my mouth. Nice mouth feel of vanilla where some of that peanut profile can shine on the palate without being overpowering. Nice citrus proof rising well again here. A good balance somewhere between peanut and vanilla where everyone just gets along! Right Glass Review: Nose: More mellow than the left glass. Caramel and vanilla perfectly blended. Light dusty earth and oak. Citrusy proof that leaves a light sting in the nostrils. Nice clear raisin coming through. I'm reminded here of the smell of a cotton bed sheet, flapping on the clothes line on a breezy summer day. Caramel ties well to the herbal molasses blend. You never have to dig long for some nice notes here. Slight peanut late in the glass; maybe a wave hello from the left glass. A similar marshmallow says this bottle is ready to be kicked! Palate: Wow, rich citrus bite on the tongue. Beautiful caramel and molasses herbs work over much like the nose. Slightly metallic mouth coating; maybe attributed to a unique mix of citrus and anise. Definitely the easier sipper of the two, but that may be due in some part to oxidation. Final Ranking: Right Glass > Left Glass, but both are fantastic offerings Reveal: Left Glass = Liquor Junction Right Glass = Rapid Liquors Left Glass Company on Label: Wild Turkey Whiskey Type: Bourbon Mash Bill Percentages: 75% Corn, 13% Rye, 12% Barley Proof: 110° Age: 8 years Further identification: Liquor Junction store pick Barrel 20-0213.

It's no secret I love Russell's reserve picks.
